At Menton, you can order a hodgepodge of dishes à la carte. However, those hungry for a unique dining experience can order the Chef’s Whim, a tasting menu comprised of seasonal dishes. Classified as French-Italian hybrid, this Boston restaurant whips up an assortment of dishes that marry both cuisines into one menu. For example, on the Chef’s Whim you can opt for both foie gras and tortellini en brodo.

BR Prime is one of the many fine restaurants at Beau Rivage Resort and Casino, and it just so happens to be the most expensive place to dine in Mississippi. So what hikes up the price so much? The chateaubriand clocking in at $100 is certainly not cheap, but it’s the 2-pound lobster stuffed with crab and the 40-ounce tomahawk rib-eye — both at $125 — that give the restaurant its expensive reputation.

Located in Kansas City’s Union Station, Pierpont’s is the most expensive restaurant in Missouri, but not by much. Close behind is Le Fou Frog where the most expensive meal is $62, just $5 less than the priciest meal at Pierpont’s. The most expensive entrée at Pierpont’s, however, isn’t necessarily the most expensive item on the menu in this case. The Royal Siberian sturgeon is 1 ounce of caviar served with crème fraîche, capers, and crackers that is priced at astonishing $99.
